Gray Area Foundation
San Francisco-based nonprofit catalyzing projects at the intersection of technology and culture, applied toward social good.
Gray Area is a San Francisco-based nonprofit cultural incubator dedicated to cultivating antidisciplinary collaboration — integrating art, technology, science, and the humanities — to create a more equitable and regenerative future. Since its founding in 2008, Gray Area has served as a hub for critically engaging with technology and culture, empowering artists, technologists, and creative practitioners to generate meaningful social impact.
Through its robust platform of public programs, educational offerings, and research initiatives, Gray Area inspires a diverse community to explore the transformative potential of digital tools. From museum-quality exhibitions to experimental live performances, Gray Area fosters innovative experiences that push the boundaries of how art is created, presented, and consumed in the digital era.
Gray Area’s programs emphasize community, equity, and experimentation. Over 50% of the artists in our flagship programs amplify historically underrepresented voices, and our Cultural Incubator provides a space for projects to grow, scale, and return to the community as educational and public programming.
As fiscal sponsors and partners of CODAME, Gray Area shares a commitment to bridging the worlds of art and technology, creating platforms where creativity and experimentation thrive. Together, we support a global network of practitioners who defy categorization, catalyzing projects that intersect artistic practice with technological innovation, and addressing some of the most complex social and cultural challenges of our time.
Gray Area continues to expand the possibilities of creative collaboration, demonstrating that when art and technology converge, they become powerful tools for cultural regeneration and social transformation.
